SHIPS STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 26,528, dated December 20, 185 9.; i

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. SLATER, of New Haven, in the county of NewHaven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Stoves for Ships; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, referencebeing had to the a11- nexed drawings, making a part of thisspecification, in which Figure 1, is a side sectional view of a stovewith my invention applied to it, taken in the line w, m, Fig. 3. Fig. 2,is a transverse vertical section of ditto, taken in the line 00, m, Fig.3. Fig. 3, is a plan or top view of ditto partly in section.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the severalfigures.

This invention relates to an improvement in a stove to be used onshipboard for which Letters Patent bearing date Januaryfith,

1857, were granted to Daniel S. Beardsley in connection with John D.Umberfield, and of which Letters Patent I am now the sole assignee.

The invention consists in hanging the stove aforesaid by means ofadjustable or independent thimbles, substantially as hereinafter fullydescribed, whereby said thimbles may be cast separately instead of withthe whole flue as formerly and perfect joints obtained as well as moredurable ones, the invention also admitting, of a more ready adjustmentor fitting up of the stove.

To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and construct myinvention I will proceed to describe it.

A, represents a stove which maybe of any suitable form and designedeither for cooking or exclusively heating purposes. In the drawings anordinary rectangular cook stove is represented. This stove A, like thepatented one previously alluded to, is suspended in a swinging frame B,a transverse half 0;, of which is a flue connected with an uprightstationary flue or pipe C, by a hollow joint D. The stove is alsosuspended to the frame B, by hollow joints E, E, which form acommunication between the stove and the flue a. By suspending the stovein this manner, it, like the compass box is permitted to retain a properposition,-the swinging frame B, and jointed connections of the stove toit compensating for the rolling of the ship.

The joints D, E, E, which; constitute y, 1 I, invention are formedeach'of two distinct parts to wit, thimbles b, and sockets o. The Ithimbles are simply shorttubes castwithfa t C flanch d, at their outerends, said flanjches having dove-tail ed es andyfitted indove-i tailgrooves in the ue]a,see Fig. This method of attachingjthe thimbles totheflue a, prevents any lateral displacementof the; same and at the sametime admits of theiij ready adjustment to and removal from thecommunicate with'the fluela. v

flue a, when necessary. The thimbles b, all

To the stove A, at each side a socketic, is j attached to receivethethimbles.-yThese sockets are cast separately a nd theyl are bolted tothe stove so asto connect with its a v j flue g, as shownclearly in Fig,2. The

sockets a, are of such a siZe'as to receivethe I] 1 31i 11 thimbles b,of the joints E, E, said thimbles being allowed to turn freely therein.The A thimble of the joint Works 011th? socket I 0, attached to the flueG. 1

From the above description; itwillbeseeri that in case of wear orbreakage, {either the so thimbles or sockets lmaykbe" detachedjand I Lg;replaced by new ones, and it will also be seen that as these parts arecastseparatelyfl they may be of a finer andjmore durablema:

terial than the other partsiof the stove and; also maybe cast perfectly.I In the original j I stove the thimbles and socketsfwerje east I withthe flue a, and stove A,Jandconsequently in casexof any imperfection ineitherllff 1 thimble or socket, i allthe ether parts: re quired to bere-inelted infifactmthey Wer worthless except as old metal. By thisflinvention perfect joints areinsured and when v worn by use or in caseof'beinginjuredi in v E; half of the frame B,i:correspondin withthej j HY any way they may be readily repaired. 1 {The flue portion a, hasanordinaryjoint h, a I

Having thus describedimyinvention what, I

desire tolsecure by Let-j 1 l l Q o Forming the jointsO, D, D, of thethima i j I claim as new and ters Patent, 1s,

bles b, and sockets c, attached respectively to the swinging flue a,stoveA, and stationary 1 flue C, substantially as for the purp pose setforth. I y GEORGEW, SLATER. I I
